one of Boss NIcIaughlln's representatives in
Congress has been honored with dinner at
which Mayor Whitney presided. Among the
other dates imposed by the Boss on the
Mayor was that of making a speech landing
the services Of this liquor dealer. His ser

the hospitals, the alinshouses, which are largely
occasioned by their demorahzing work. Besides
the law works itself. The saloOn-keeper who

yet entirely disappeared. The people in the
neighborhood Of East Fiftcth-st. are complain
ing loudly. The city is not likely to DC ria
